Russian great grandfather... lived in a house built in the late 1700's. His father lived to be 108 years old. Hard work and no tv... or was it simple foods... hmmmm.
Maria, these face cards are really fun to view! An awful lot of character in a pretty tiny space -- goes to show that precise detail doesn't have to be the name of the game for a successful piece of work. Very nice job!
I am just loving this series of yours, Maria. I think you are right - hard work, no tv and most likely the complete lack of chemical preservatives (except for salt) probably contributed greatly to his longevity. What a wonderful spirit emanated from this tiny painting!
